Jesus Calling: November 7th
Worship Me in the beauty of holiness. All true beauty reflects some of who I AM. I am working My ways in you: the divine Artist creating loveliness within your being. My main work is to clear out debris and clutter, making room for My Spirit to take full possession. Collaborate with Me in this effort by being willing to let go of anything I choose to take away. I know what you need, and I have promised to provide all of that -- abundantly!Your sense of security must not rest in your possessions or in things going your way. I am training you to depend on Me alone, finding fulfillment in My Presence. This entails being satisfied with much or with little, accepting either as My will for the moment. Instead of grasping and controlling, you are learning to release and receive. Cultivate this receptive stance by trusting Me in every situation.
RELATED SCRIPTURE:
Psalm 29:2 (NIV)
2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.
Psalm 27:4 (NLT)
4 The one thing I ask of the Lord—
the thing I seek most—
is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
delighting in the Lord’s perfections
and meditating in his Temple.
Additional insight regarding Psalm 27:4: By the "House of the Lord" and "his Temple," David could be referring to the Tabernacle in Gibeon, to the sanctuary he has built to house the Ark of the Covenant, or to the Temple that his son Solomon was to build. David probably had the Temple in mind because he had made plans for it in 1st Chronicles 22. David may also have used the word Temple to refer to the presence of the Lord. David's greatest desire was to live in God's presence each day of his life. Sadly, this is not the greatest desire of many who claim to be believers. What do you desire the most? Do you look forward to being in the presence of the Lord?
Yes I am . Lord Thank you for all you did and still doing in my life!

ReplyDeleteI know what you need, and I have promised to provide all of that -- abundantly! Today is Jesus all we need? What else do we need? Nothing!! Amen!!!
ReplyDeletePraise God for his patience with His people
ReplyDeleteAmen
ReplyDeleteIn everything we do submitting to our loving God in all our ways is the key to our faith and obedience to Him. Prayers go up, blessings come down! Amen 🙏🏽
ReplyDeleteGood question! Many of us feel we are not worthy to live in the presence of God. That's why we must all try harder to live up to that worthiness!
ReplyDeleteI think you have it a little wrong there. That is a lie from Satan (the accuser) that we need to "get good" and then God will reveal himself or be near. We will never be worthy to be in His presence, no matter how much we "do". Reconciliation with God is a GIFT - only available for us through BELIEF in the atoning BLOOD sacrifice of Jesus. See Romans 3.
DeleteSo, ultimately, if you call on the name of Jesus you will be saved and we have communion with Him and the gift of His presence.
Righteous living is just a bonus. It's not easy, but it's possible with the HELP of Jesus. We must cry out to him every day for strength to do the right thing. Righteous living is a bonus - that is for our strengthening, our benefit and God's glory 🕊️. It's wonderful, but we don't need it to invite His presence and for Him to meet us.
I agree. Amen!
DeleteAMEN! 🙏♥️♥️♥️🙏
